Livelihood development of the disadvantage sections of Sagar Island GP: Dhaspara Sumitinagar- I
Paribesh Unnayan Parishad (PUPA)
Page 2 of 20
Overview:
“Livelihood Development for the Disadvantaged Sections of the Society at Sagar Island” under Integrated Coastal Zone
Management Project was started in September 2012 to uplift the economic status & the quality of life of the poorest people of Sagar
Island. The basic objective of the initiative was sustainable livelihood enhancement of the poor people and also to assure that the
beneficiaries will have a decent standard of life, gain some status in society, some dignity and meaning in life through improved
access to financial and selected basic social services.
‘Paribesh Unnayan Parishad’ (PUPA) was dedicated to uplift the quality of life and livelihood of poor, vulnerable and downtrodden
people of the Dhaspara Sumatinagar- 1 GP, Sagar Island. DS-1 GP is constituted of 6 villages, viz., Dhaspara, Mahendragaunj,
Nagendragaunj, Gobindapur, Debimathurapur and Kaylapara. During 1st year, PUPA covered 3 villages consisting of 8 sansads (As
per new breakup at the time of last Panchayet Election) focused on the overall strengthening of selected SHGs for which a
comprehensive training on group dynamics, accounts & group management including handholding support was provided. We also
introduced the planning method of the Income generation activities (IGAs) and sensitization programme on the issues of IGAs of
selected SHGs. Considering the fact that Infra-structure development of the local area is the first step to improve the quality of life of
the coastal community in general, we initiated need-based Entry Point activities (EPAs) implemented by SHGs with active
participation of the Community members.
Following is a Table (Table 1) showing the demographic pattern at six Villages, DS-1 GP, updated during our house to house surveys.
During this survey period, we are also able to identify the poor and poorest families for upliftment support, given in the Table – 2
below.

Table – 2 : Identified Poor households after PRA exercise
During Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) exercise, PUPA conducted 34 Para meetings with a participatory approach to understand the scenario as per indicators identified for the DS-1 GP. The basic indicators were:
1. Number of family members 2. Source of income 3. House condition 4. Area of land 5. Physically challenged members
Page 5 of 20
As a result of the PRA exercise, it was identified that households 656 (HHs) are very poor and 1693 HHs are poor in targeted GP. As per follow-up plan, PUPA is trying to include the identified poor and very poor households in the covered groups and trying to involve them into economic activity for the sustainability of their livelihood.
The entire 1st year (Sept, 2012-August 13) of the ICZMP programme, PUPA focused on capacity building on SHGs members. During the first quarter of the 2nd year, PUPA focused to finalize the community contracts of IEPs and EPAs as per guideline by SPMU and also covered new 7 sanasds. In the early period of 2nd year, PUPA organized a gram panchayet level meeting with the newly elected panchayet members and members of Panchayet samity, Zilla parishad to discuss the objectives and methodologies of the livelihood project and also organized sansad level meetings in new sansads to discuss the ICZM project
objective and action plan in upcoming period. During this time PUPA managed to run five trainings for the SHG members to enhance their skills on group management, business development plan and Betel vine farming.
Key activities during project period
1. Completed contract of 61 IGAs of 61 SHGs
- The basic objective of the project is to enhance the livelihood of the poorest people. So it was very important to sensitize the
groups on Income enhance plan and process. During this time, PUPA achieved to finalize 61 IEPs of 61 SHGs including 17
group businesses. SHG members had prepared various business plans with active support of PUPA staff, like Betel vine
cultivation, fishery, integrated farming, poultry, grocery, cloth store, paddle van, power tillers, paddy husking machine, sugar
cane cultivation, Sugarcane juice, vegetable garden, vegetable shop, tea stall, fish shop, meat shop, fast-food shop

2. Completed 30 Agreement of EPAs
- Entry Point activity is an important step as per project stipulation and
infrastructure development of the local area to improve the quality of life of the
coastal community. PUPA achieved to complete 30 agreement of EPA of
15 sansads of DS-1 GP including 11 tube wells with elevated platforms and 19
new Brick Roads (Double brick flat) with active support of 30 SHGs.
3. SHG based training
Organized training on group dynamics, leadership, administration and
accounts related issues. Some of the activities taken up for training were, how to
conduct a general meeting, importance of attendance in meeting, conducting
emergency meeting & annual meeting, book keeping, savings in financial
institution, etc and introduction of economic activities for their sustainability.
The major objectives of this training was to enable the participants to have
clear understanding on different aspects of the programme and functioning of self
help groups and also to enhance the facilitation skill of the facilitators
in promoting and nurturing groups.
‘Training of Trainers’ on Business Development Plan was
organized for the SHG members in new targeted sansads during 2nd year in
December 2013. In all, there were 25 participants in this program
including some SHG members. The basic objective of the training was to
facilitate the participants to have clear understanding and develop their skills on Business Development planning process and
preparation of Business development plan.
4. Quick rating and hand holding training
- During the 2nd year, PUPA achieved to reach 152 SHGs of DS-1 GP. Quick rating is a method to measure the strength of the
groups. 4 indicators (meeting, attendance, savings and loan repayment) were applied for review the status of groups. On the
SHG data: At a glance
Page 7 of 20
basis of quick rating, we tried to know the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the groups (SWOT analysis).
According to the identified weaknesses, we gave them support to the SHGs for their capacity building on group management
and account related issues.
- Present status of the groups:
D: 49 SHGs
As per project need, it’s very important to build up the capacity of the SHG members on SHG management, micro business plan and
others. On the basis of quick rating, we tried to understand the strength and weakness of the Self Help groups. As per identified
weakness, we tried to give support to the SHG for their capacity building. We are giving training in two modes:
Process mode (hand holding training with one or two SHGs at field level)
Event mode (handholding training event with 10-20 SHG leaders)

cultivation. In three training, 75 members were covered and oriented on how to cultivate and maintain the closed

bacterial infections which may cause many types of diseases to the plant. So they were also oriented about the
control measures of those diseases.

was to provide the basic preparation to run poultry business on a large scale and how to maintain a poultry farm.
Organized vermicomposting, fishery, integrated farming system etc for the groups to enhance the skill in related
